And I will give another,equally true : "The poverty of the parsonage will develop itself in the poverty ofthe pulpit." I have no doubt about it.Genteel poverty, to which some ministersare doomed, is one of the great evils underthe sun. To place a man in circumstanceswhere lie is expected to be generous andhospitable, to open bis hand as wideas his heart to the poor, to give his familya good education, to bring them up inwhat is called genteel life, and to denyhim the means of doing so, is enough, butfor the hope of heaven, to embitter hisistencc.In the dread of debt ; in many dailymortifications—meeting, perhaps, some oldacquaintance, whom he dared not ask tohis table, lest bis prudent wife shouldfrown upon his extravagauce ; iu harrassing fears what shall become of his wife andchidren when his head lies in the grave ;a . n . ia . n . cu l fc,vafcc d mind nnd delicatesibilities has trials to bear more painfulthan the privations of the poor.It is a bitter cup, and my heart bleedsfor brethren who have never told theirsorrows, coucenling under their cloak thefox that knaws at their vitals.MODS.exaSalt folk..A writer to the New York Express, under date of June 20, refers in glowiugterms to the beauties of that now famouslocality. He writes :The sky here just now, and the eartharc a paradise—and the heavens above,and the earth below, remind one more ofGrenada and of the regions of the Alhambra and the Alcazar, than any other laudI have ever been in. Here rushes a cooling mountain torrent passing right throughthe very heart of the city, almost underthe walls of the Tabernacle—and thereripple innumerable little rills through thestreets, making happy the grass, and thetrees, and vegetation of all kinds, whileoverhead are the " Nevadas," the snowyhills tempering the hot rays of the nowburning sun, if not by therinometricaladmeasurement, by all the inspirations ofthe age and the delusions of the imagination.

The way inwhich the gutta, or gum, is obtained isby cutting down the trees, aud ringingtlip bark at the distance of from ten tofifteen inches apart, aud placing a cocoanut shell under the fallen trunk of the treeto leccivc the hardened sap that oozes outupon every incision. After thefendsap incollected, it is boiled to separate the gumfrom the water. When the gum haa become well softened by boiling, it is rolledout in thin sheets, aud all impuritiespicked or rubbed off.This gum is remarkable for the easewith which it may bo manufactured. Byimmersing it for a few minutes in hot water, it becomes soft nnd plastic, and maybe moulded to any form, which it retainsupon cooling.
